Barron Trump's first appearance in months has the internet confused

By 9Honey| 3 weeks ago

The youngest son of President Trump has been spotted for the first time since August, and people have noticed that the 12-year-old has gone through a significant growth spurt.

After celebrating Thanksgiving at the Trump-owned Mar-a-Lago in Florida last week, nearby photographers snapped a few photos of Barron and his parents returning to the White House. In it, it appears the pre-teen is taller than his six foot three dad.

Many people have expressed their shock over how quickly the young student has grown, especially in this particular photograph.

However, tall as he may be, that photo is a little misleading. In an earlier snap, where the President, First Lady and their son are standing on flat ground, you can see he is an inch or so shorter than Mr Trump.

At 12 years old he still has more growing to do, so it won't be much longer until he is towering above both parents. He's already surpassed mother, Melania and sister Ivanka, who are both five foot 11. His brothers, Eric and Donald Jr, are both impressively tall too.
